Maybe $140.00, more if you install a Superdrive, upgrade the memory to 2GB and if the Tiger discs come with the machine, say $200.00.

I'd say deck it out and keep it.

everymac.com says it's worth 5-600 bucks? I dunno.

I don't need it, but it was free. Monitor is not great. A CRT (dell)... not very good quality. I may grab a lcd flat screen perhaps? Keep as a backup system... may setup a software raid on it... never done that so it's a learning experience

Believe Everymac prices are way over the top, even though it is a top site. For instance a Sawtooth 400MHz will never bring $200.00. May have three years ago but not now imho.
